IMPRovEMEN-r IN LAMPBURNERS.

`Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,315, dated May 30, 1871.

an Improvement in Lamp-Burners, and the following is declared to bea correct description thereof'.

` Lamp-burners have been made with an elevated deiiec/tor or draft-plate in combination with a chimney-holder, air-distributer, and a l Ytapering wick-tube guide, as seen in Letters PatentNo. 91,590, granted June 22, 1869.

My present invention is made for facilitating the lighting' and trimming of lamps in which a conical deeetor extending from the base of the chimney up above the wick is employed; and said invention consists in making a perforated air-distributer and wick-tube guide in one piece ,of metal, and a chimneyrest and conical `defle'ctor in another piece of metal, these two parts being removable from the wick-tube and ratchet-cap without eX- tinguishing the dame, thereby giving great facility in the construction of the lamp and its use in lighting and trimming, and I combine with the aforesaid parts a spring chimneyholder that is attachedto-the base of the conical deector.

The parts made inthis manner are very strong, and the advantageous features of the `aforesaid patent are applied to and combined in an ordinary lamp-burner having ailat wick and cone.v

Inthe drawing, Figurewl is a vertical section of the lamp-burner complete. Fig. 2 is tube d, and wick-raiser e are of the well-known construction, and generally similar to those in the said patent. Thewick-tube guide j' is also similar to the wick-tube guide in the said patent, but instead of being Inade of a separate piece of metal from the air-distributer and united thereto by clasps, it is made out of the same piece of metal as the perforated air-distributer g, thereby making the parts much stronger and stiffer and lessening expense.

' The importance of strength in these parts will be apparent, because the power to screw and unscrew the burner is generally applied to the edge of the air-distributer and acts through the notches 2 and lugs 3 on the base a ofthe burner. The cone or deflector h has usually been made separate from the air-distrbuter and chimney-holder,so as to allow access to the wick; but by combining with the air-distributer and cone the wick-tube guide I am enabled to remove the upper part of the burner, and hence can attach the cone or deiiector h directly to the air-distributer; this is effected. by turning the edges over each other as at 4. The base i of the cone forms the chimneyrest, and to this the spring chimney-holder la is connected by means of projections passing through mortises in the rest, and bent up. Y

The removable portion of the burner, made of two pieces of metal united at their edges and forming the deiiector, chimney-rest, airdistributer, and wick-tube guide, in combination with a chimney-holder applied at the base of the cone, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 9th day of March, A. D.
